For sale: Dahon Speed 7 folding bike

For sale, Dahon Speed 7. £50, collection only from Sutton (SM2).

IIRC this is a 2007 model. I’ve had it since new. As the name suggests it’s 7 speed.

Things that I’ve changed from factory spec:

Handlebars: I changed to some odd looking trekking bas to give a bit more reach (I’m 6’3”). Original flat bars are included.

Tyres: Schwalbe Marathon Racers. A bit worn but I’d guess there’s another 500 miles left in them.

Stem/steering mast: Replaced under warranty by Dahon as the original one snapped at the hinge. The replacement is of a different design so I assume this was a design fault that got rectified somewhere along the line.

Obviously this bike is nearly 10 years old so it is not pristine. A few things worth noting:

• The grip tape on the trekking bars is very tatty.

• The bungee cord on the rear rack is a bit stretched so needs to be wrapped around twice.

• All the drivetrain and cabling (apart from gear inner) is original. Everything is a bit crunchy, although I’ve experienced no ghost shifting once it’s in gear. If you have higher standards than me you might want to replace some consumable parts. Chain is filthy.

• The bike comes with a carry bag. I’ve crudely patched the inside with some old denim as a seam started splitting. A new split has developed that I haven’t patched.
